Beamforming is a technique whereby a beamformer station directs a signal toward a beamformee station rather than broadcasting the signal in a substantially omnidirectional manner. A beamformer may be defined as a station that transmits a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) using a beamforming steering matrix. A beamformee may be defined as a station that receives a PPDU that was transmitted using a beamforming steering matrix. The beamformer station may be a component configured to provide wireless access to a network, such as an enhanced base station (eNB), a macrocell, a femtocell, a Wi-Fi access point, or some other wirelessly enabled device. Any such component will be referred to herein as an access point. An access point may provide wireless access in accordance with one or more wireless communication protocols, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE Advanced (LTE-A), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), or Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. The beamformee station may be a component capable of establishing a wireless connection with an access point, such as a user equipment (UE), a mobile station, or some other wirelessly enabled device. Any such component will be referred to herein as a station. While beamforming is typically employed in transmissions from access points to stations, it should be understood that a station may employ beamforming when transmitting to an access point. Further any station may simultaneously act as a beamformer and beamformee, while transmitting and receiving, respectively.
